Default popping sound

So ive got this popping/clicking sound from the front driver side when i make right turns. It almost sounds like a bad axle but the boots arent torn and its not constant. Im on raceland coilovers, ive checked those, sway bar endlinks and ball joints and they all look fine! Anyone have any other ideas?

Just because the boot isn't torn doesn't mean you can rule out a bad axle. Also do you mean the sound isn't constant like it only does it for a moment when you turn or do you mean consistent and it doesn't always do it while turning?

Its not the wheel bearing and its not the strut. I know that it could still be an axle but what im saying is its not a constant sound like a bad axle. This different than any other bad axle ive ever heard. I guess ill just start replacing stuff untill it goes away.

Could be the upper mounts... or could be the fact that the spring on the coilover is turning making that noise. Might want to look at them.

I just had the same crappy problem. I had been top and bottom trying to figure out what the heck it was. Took it to a dealer LMAO. turns out it was a lower control arm bolt that wasnt tight enough.
